Error while running a python-Storing Data object in JSON

Question

I've extracted data via api against which I had to transformation to read the data in tabular format. Sample code:

import json
import ast
import requests
from pandas import json_normalize
result = requests.get('https://website.com/api')
data = result.json()
df = pd.DataFrame(data['result']['records'])

Every time I run above python(.py) file in terminal, I get an error in line where it says;

in <module>
data = result.json()

Also this;

 raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Not sure why I am getting this error. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Any help would be appreciated.
